LYNN — the Lynn North Shore Christian School Robotics Team competed in the Southern New England Robotics Tournament last Saturday. Thirty-four teams from New England participated at Hopkinton High School.
North Shore Christian School entered an elementary team representing themselves as Brobots, 6th- and 7th-graders dubbed Code Breakers, and 8th graders known as Steam Punks.
The NSCS Robotics teams did well in the tournament. The Brobots finished 1st in the Autonomous category; their robot functioned without a remote, relying solely on coding.
For Combined Skills, the Code Breakers finished 4th, earning them a spot in the Massachusetts/Rhode Island State Championship. The Brobots finished 5th and the Steam Punks were 8th.
This tournament was the first of three in Southern New England. The next competition is in January.
Participating students were:
Brobots — Brendan Sharwood, Gabriel Barbosa (of Lynn), Ralph Gerber (of Peabody), and Nicholas Saia; Code Breakers — Matthew Stuart, Violet Saia, Lauren Imuze (of Peabody), and Danielle Nalesnik; Steam Punks — Matias W’Gebriel, Matthew Chatterton (of Lynn), McLaren Cook, and Sebastiano Dimodica.
